Review: Classics Watercolor Set from Prima Marketing 

Nice sketch! Bob Ross would be happy with the way you handled the oops moment, I think haha Where does this brand scores, in general, in your ranking of brands from liked to disliked?

Teoh, thank you for showing this... It doesn't look like there are duplicates, and it might be good to have more than one set... I do like the Classics now that I see that one.

I didn't knew about the pastel set it sounds nice I will look it up very helpful video thanks

Hello, how are you? I am a beginner in watercolor. I am in doubt which one to buy. Press marketing, Van Gogh, Winsor and Newton - Cotma or Paul Rubens. Which is the best watercolor?

thank you for showing how to save the day when woopsies happen. I really enjoyed this video. I don't think I've seen anyone show how to save the day in any of the tutorials I've watched, so thank you very much. be well. bye now

As for lightfastness, i did a quick 2 week test of the Topicals, and all but 3 colors faded if I remember correctly, so definitely best for sketching or practice. I still really enjoy these, they're not as chalky as the other student grade/cheap watercolors and the tin is great.

I have gotten the Classics and the Tropicals after seeing your review of the Tropicals. THese are my first watercolors and seem to be a great place to start...really enjoying them. thanks for your original review...hope you do the other two sets...VERY curious about them. THese pigments are so strong and clean colors...

Thanks. I just bought this set and as usual yours was the best review online. I love how you demo the sets by doing a painting, not just swatches. Very informative.

I've watched many of you videos now, and you deserve a million subscribers! Your videos are always well made! Thanks!! :)

I have the Tropical set per your recommendation. I love it -- great for a grab-n-go palette.

I absolutely love how you walk us through your process. Thank so much for sharing your talent! ☺

heres the lightfastness ratings for all the prims sets! doodlewash.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/confectionsswatches_updated.jpg

The Tropicals Palette looks good. Love the colors.

Until you said something about water on the ground I thought it was two kids crying at a weird statue.

Thank you so much for your detailed reviews and demonstrations! I was confused between the classic and tropicals. I liked the tropical colors however i was afraid since there was no black. However this review convinced me that Tropical is the right choicd 😀

Given the way these sets are made, I feel like I would have to buy at least the Classics and Tropicals set and re-arrange the colors so I would have the 12 colors I would need on my own.

Prima has released the pigment information and are considered archival. I do not work for the company, but I found the information from a blogger named Spin Doctor. www.the-spin-doctor.co.uk/2018/04/prima-watercolor-confections-pigment.html

I really wish i got this instead of the winsor and newton set i have.

I was searching for a review on this water color set because I planned to get one when I came to your review of it. I have to say that I like the colors, your review on them and it's made me decided to buy one. So, thanks!

I like the 3 mixing wells in the pallette. I just got a set just for the case. I placed my other paints in the pallette to use it.

no joke I let out a squeak when the brush fell on the little girl's face haha thanks for the reviews on prima watercolors. the tropicals set looks so tempting whenever I see it, but now I can definitely stand to not have it, except maybe when I need a small tin.

The painting looks fantastic. I like the tropicals palette better as well however I have to say the overall colors on the painting with the classic set looks really beautiful, you did a great job with it.

Thank you for the review although I do wish you had put the names of the colours on the swatches. It would be more useful.

i just love your reviews :)

I love the slightly old-fashioned look of your sketch!

Yes, now I agree with you... as I don't want white, black or gray I think the Tropicals would be better for me... although i do like the red in the Classics.

Hi Teoh, Don't know how I missed this one. Nice review and you covered a vast amount of issues including fixing our mistakes. That is a subject few want to deal with. You gave us great tips for sure. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Kathy B. (fairylady0227)

I think the tropical is the one to go.

What would you choose: Windsor newton or prima marketing?

I just got the tropical set because I wanted the convenience of being able to mix skin tone easily with the yellow ochre and the brown. The other set I was looking at was the pastel dreams one but I decide to go with tropical because of the skin tone thing, and I just considered watering down the colors to create a pastel shade and that would mean my paints would last longer as well

You're so incredible! Never stop what you're doing, thank you so much :)

Great review! I think I would prefer the tropicals watercolor set out of the other sets, thanks Teoh your videos are always so well made and so thorough, a great pleasure to watch ☺️👍🏽

Wow!! this is wonderful. Thank you for sharing the knowledge you have.

Is this student grade watercolor?

Do they have refill pans???

Ooops! Good job on fixing that accident. ! LOL !

Would you recommend this or the Gansai Tambi Watercolor? I’m afraid that tha Gandai Tambi might ne too pigmented for me. And I can’t decide between both. Thanks for the help!

Thank you for this review! I'm new to watercolor and I've been a bit overwhelmed trying to navigate all of the supply options out there. I always find your reviews comprehensive and helpful, particularly in this case since I'd seen the Prima Marketing sets on Amazon and had been wondering about them. Also, I know I personally would very much enjoy a review of the pastels set particularly. Just a thought. :)

I agree about the white. Went art shopping yesterday and all the travel set had white. I'd love to see a Parka set!!!! Perhaps a video (if you haven't done it already) on a 12 colour travel wishlist.

Watching this while waiting on election results. I like that you did a test painting and walked us through colour mixing. I always like seeing your painting process. Do you ever use varying sizes of brushes on a painting?

Thank you for an in depth review of these Teoh! The colours are all lovely, wish they had a jumbo set haha! I like your point on black, brown and black in the pans, not very useful, never thought of that before!

Thanks for another helpful video. I have the Decadent Pies set, now I am tempted to get the Tropicals too.

thank you for the video!! do you have the link to the seller that you bought them from or do you know any stores that sell these in sg?

For white gel pens.... which one would you recommend?

Like the yellow/purple/red skin tone mix--very nice!

Is this set chalky?

do you prefer prima tropicals over Windsor and newton cotman?

Do these boxes have something that helps manage holding them??

One of these sets is equal the price of a 30-color sakura koi watercolor set

hmm

great video ! i was wondering if u could do an alpha watercolour review...

3:00 I love that one; it's beautiful.

Hello Teoh! Prima did name these paints, but they did not name it based on pigment.

try black and yellow to get a dark green

Hi Teoh, can i get those colour palete, like Holbein, Watercolour, Schmincke or Winsor and New ton in SG ? thanks

hello, Teoh, the paints have names, but not traditional names....the colorfastness numbers and names are here: janedavenport.com/shop/supplies/jdmm-petite-palette-watercolor-bundle/ this is janedavenport.com who makes the paints and the particular page that sells all the sets together!!! hope this helps!!!
